First off, thank you to COZ@CZP (Concept Z Performance) for helping me get a new black Injen Intake. This is your man to go to if you have any Z needs He is 100% about customer service and is promt with response and shipping. "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

Second, the install was just as easy as when I did the old red one. Only difference, I didnt remove the bumper. I did notice the new injen design allows for the oil to be pumped away from the maf by a new little downtube and filter. Seems like a smart idea to me

Sorry for the funny looking washed out pictures. It was REALLY dark out so the only thing that POPS out in these pics is the dust, and EVERYTHING But the intake haha. It truely does look 100x better black then it did polished and red against the Brick.

i have the old injen intake and i am wondering if i should get a new one. I heard that there is some problem with the maf. Do i contact my speedshop or should i call injen to get it replaced? Or is it even worth the hassle.

 

I honestly think they remodeled the piece that attaches to the maf as a precaution. When removing the OLD intake I had ZERO oil on the MAF or insides of the pipes.

 

When i get 6-8 free hours Ill polish it. Its SUCH A DAMN PAIN!

 

how can you polish it your self?

 

You "could" do it by hand. Polishing is just smoothing the metal down so that the bumps and imperfections in the surface go away and therefore it becomes shiny.

The best way to polish stuff is to pick up a motor, like a washing machine motor or something, or you can even by polishing setups that you can attach to a bench. You just put a coarse brush on to get it smoothed down, then start putting polish on a buffing brush and go to town. Then a clean pad or just hand buff out the rest of the haze. It's not hard, just time consuming, and it requires you to go back and redo it from time to time as it will oxidize and become hazy even if you don't touch it.

 

Can you circle where the downtube and filter connects to the intake pipe?

 

Ill just explain where it is since you cant see it anyway.

See the yellow dipstick? Next to that is the MAF plastic piece. Its on the UNDER side of that.

 

so are they selling the black hoses?
I HATE my red hose!

 

Yes check out thier website.

Thanks!

 

Not quite there buddy. What you are actually doing is making more and more bumps and imperfections on the surface giving it the much desired shine with more and more bumps and imperfections.

 

hmm, that doesn't really make sense, someone back me up here...

 

Think about it. You are taking a compound and rubbing it on a surface. You are scratching the surface more and more until you cannot "see" the imperfections. Once you have a mirror finish, there are probably millions of scratches on the part. You want the part to be as uniform and level as possible.

 

Or you can avoid the hazzle and buy one already polished from strictlyz.com. I dont know the price tho.

 

thanks but everyone knows you can just buy one put its over $400 and they need a core exchange

 

Yes, we have just the hoses available:

Do you have to remove the bumper to install the injen? Also, how far is it from the ground? I'm in Florida where it rains almost every other day and streets get easily flooded. I don't want to take a huge drink of water and ruin a perfectly good Z just for 3-4 HP.

 

if you get a chance do a search for INJEN. There have been about 100 posts about that water issue and the bumper.

In short.... 1) You dont HAVE to remove the bumper if you dont want to. 2) A little water is ok, a huge engulfing STREAM is another issue.
